Keg@CBC2013. I had this in my notes "Brodies Floyds APA", but it seems to be incorrect according to RB. In the other hand ... all other ratings show too that this beer is more like an APA than an ESB. Ok here we go:
Hazy orange color, small white head. Fruity, pineapple aroma. Light to medium bodied. Fruity, citrus, some gooseberry. Good hoppy APA.

CBC. Also again at KWIV 21st June 2013. Hazy gold beer, good pale cream coloured head. Palate is soft and dry. Dry creamy malt base, touch of lactose. Good hops - a little skunk and grass, light marmalade citrus. Finishes dry, hangs together well. At the KWIV the beer was cloudy gold and showing fruity hops flavours of passion fruit and apricot and dried fruits, there was also pine and floral sweetness. Quite a different beer!

Keg at the Old Coffee House, Soho. It pours hazy amber with a small white head. The nose is orange, peach, nectarine, juicy apricot, wood and varnish. The taste is pine, assertive bitterness, varnish, leather, resin, zesty orange, nectarine, apricot, light astringency, caramel and a touch of spice with a dry, pretty bitter finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Nice hopped-up ESB.

Keg at the Old Coffee house, 16/05/13. Very lightly hazed golden with a thin off white head that clears to the edge and forms a film. Nose is fresh hops, caramel, citrus, bitter orange. Taste comprises hops, biscuit crumbs, light sugars, Caramac bar, orange pith, grapefruit notes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, hop bitterness in a tropical enfused finish. Decent. Would class this as an APA as opposed to an ESB in the same way that many English brewers self titled IPA’s get classed as golden/blondes.
